Upright Meaning:
In a health Tarot spread, the Eight of Swords can in some cases be an indication of mental health and anxiety disorders such as PTSD, agoraphobia, depression or panic attacks. However, it is also the card of major weight-loss so if you are trying to lose some weight it is a very welcome card to get! This card can also be an indicator of eyesight problems or blindness.
Reversed Meaning:
In a health Tarot spread, the Eight of Swords reversed can represent recovering from or overcoming mental health and anxiety disorders such as PTSD, agoraphobia, depression or panic attacks. It can also signify successful treatment of eye issues. However, on the other extreme, it can also represent severe depression and feeling like suicide is the only way out. If you are suffering from depression or feeling suicidal, remember there is always a better solution. Talk to a mental health professional or confide in family and friends. You can come through this, don’t give up!
